Capital Ships Dauntless-class heavy cruiser ![]() The Dauntless-class heavy cruiser was one of the larger warships that saw service with the Coalition fleet during the War. The Dauntless-class is developed from a series of the Sullustan-owned SoroSuub Corporation-produced luxury liners that had been converted into warships, featuring a formidable array of weapons, heavy plating, and strong shields. It also featured an excellent sensor package and countermeasures system. Liberator-class Cruiser ![]() The Liberator-class cruiser is another warship developed by SoroSuub Corporation under USC service. The Liberator-class could carry three troop regiments and six fighter squadrons. For a capital ship, the Liberator was diminutive of size, but still found room to host a formidable weapons complement consisting of ion cannons and heavy turbolaser batteries. Utilizing state-of-the-art hull armor, shielding, and drive unit technology, the Liberator was one of the most advanced warships produced during the beginings of the human invasion. Valo-class Assault Ship ![]() Valo assault ships formed the backbone of the bajoran defence fleet and the coalition fleet afterwards. they were utilized by the Bajoran Militia. armed with 20 laser turrets, and two ion cannons. the valo is perfect for large-scale engagements. Auir-class Carrier ![]() Auir Carriers are large, heavily armored and shielded warships that formed the core of the Protoss fleet, serving as command centers for protoss fleet commanders back then, and now USC commanders. Although Carriers lack weapon batteries or other armaments of any kind, their ability to unleash swarms of droid Interceptors makes them devastating in ship to ship battle. In addition, the Carrier's hangers can house up to two hundred fighters. Carriers are capable of operating in both atmospheric and deep space conditions. When not on the bridge, a Carrier commander is entitled to his/her own quarters. Riptide-class Picket ![]() Designed and developed near exclusively by the natives of the water world of Toria, the Riptide-class customs frigate combines speed and versatility into one deadly package. it trades heavy firepower for speed and defensive strength. Intended as a deterrent against smugglers and pirates, the Riptide’s unparalleled speed allows it to overtake even the fastest of capital ships. The Riptide carries a diverse array of weapons to assist it in its patrol and customs duties. This weapons package is meant to discourage and/or subdue ships smaller than the Riptide. To ensure that fleeing vessels can’t escape it, the Riptide is also equipped with tractor beams and carries a squadron of Triphibian Fighters. The fighters are meant strictly to slow down smaller ships, such as freighters and other transports, so the Riptide can snag them with a tractor beam. Fifty troopers are stationed on each vessel for boarding operations. As it was developed by a race that lives almost entirely underwater, the Riptide carries with it one special feature nearly unheard of in conventional vessels: it is a triphibian. The Riptide is able to operate in space, atmosphere, or underwater with little difficulty. It is one of the largest vessels capable of such an action. The reason for such an eccentric decision is because the Torians prefer ships that can not only protect them in space but also under the water where it could help repel an invasion. Although energy weapons aren’t effective underwater, the Riptide’s launchers are designed so they can be easily converted into torpedo tubes. Since it has to be able to withstand the crushing depths of the deep, the Riptide also sports a higher than average armor rating for a ship of its size and class. However, its energy shields are weaker than a comparable vessel. It was decided that since the Riptide would be operating underwater where energy shields would be useless, and that it was meant for chasing smaller vessels in space, the weaker shields would not be an issue. If it happened that a Riptide ran into something it couldn’t handle, it would have to rely upon its superior speed to save it. Not a dedicated warship, the Riptide is nonetheless a formidable ship within its chosen duties. It has also seen limited use as a scouting vessel thanks to its great speed. Squall-class Gunship ![]() The Squall-class gunship is a fearsome little capital ship developed by the Torians of Toria. Like all Torian designs, the Squall is designed to be able to operate in space, atmosphere, or underwater. As a triphibian, the Squall has weak shields but a strong hull to resist underwater pressures. The Squall is one of the fastest capital ships in the Coalition thanks to an innovative design built into the vessel. The Squall has a standard bank of engines located at the rear of the ship, but it also houses a second bank on the bottom that it can deploy for an extra burst of speed if needed. Otherwise it will remain retracted into the ship. The Squall also has a surprisingly powerful bite for such a small ship. Five quad laser turrets are spaced around the ship to repel starfighters, two forward mounted double turbolaser cannons and a forward facing tractor beam can make quick work of freighters or other light capital ships, and a heavy turbolaser in the back can provide and unexpected punch to other capital ships. In addition, the Squall has six top mounted warhead launchers and two side mounted concussion missile launchers to deal with any other threats and to use in underwater attacks. Warp Ray-class Escort Ship ![]() The Warp Ray, a Protoss escort ship that is the product of the divergent advancements from the joining of the Khala-following Protoss and the outcast Dark Templar in the aftermath of the Human Invasion. A Warp Ray is a ship virtually built around a single gigantic power source: the prismatic core. This device seethes with energy drawn from two realms: the Void, which is truly understood only by the Dark Templar, and the Psionic Matrix, which underpins the technologies of the Protoss of Aiur. In combination these two energies form a self-sustaining reaction of great potential. Normally the prismatic core is held in check by an arrangement of flux field projectors. When a Warp Ray locks on to a target, the projector arms smoothly part like the petals of a flower. A complex array of warp lenses and phase-crystals works to focus the energies of the prismatic core into a powerful beam. As the prismatic beam is held on the target, more of the focusing array becomes aligned, and up to three individual power streams combine together. Over a few seconds the beam's intensity and power grow exponentially. Few vessels can withstand the power of the prismatic beam for long. Sabertooth-class assault/rescue vessel ![]() The Sabertooth-class assault/rescue vessel is the result of a series of joint projects between the okami, mor'torth, and Sullustans. this ships, is the core of the coalition navy. The Sabertooth-class assault/rescue vessel is equipped with two large and flexible grapple-"teeth" designed to latch onto enemy ships, dislodging troops, or a friendly ship, moving it out of the battlefield or rescuing its crew. Alliance-class Frigate ![]() The Alliance frigate is the second ships created in the joint project. it serves as a muilti-role warship in the coalition fleet. The frigate had at one hangar bay located on its side. It also had a large, blade-like ventral structure. Additionally, it had a smaller front blade that could serve a number of functions, being able to mount either turbolasers and torpedo tubes, long-range sensor pods, communications jammers or barrage missile launchers. Scythe-class main battle cruiser ![]() The Scythe-class main battle cruiser is the last warship in the joint project, as hey say. saving the best for last. The battle cruiser is capable of engaging a Terra-class warship in combat. It's smaller but more maneuverable in combat. The blade-shaped superstructure at its front contained many torpedo tubes and starfighter launch bays. It is also armed with multiple turbolaser batteries, making it more fearsome in numbers.
